Exercises on the Reunification of Germany

(UFPE) About the disintegration of the socialist bloc, it is incorrect state that:

1. the reforms initiated by Gorbachev boosted the process of dismemberment of the Soviet Union and the democratization of Eastern European countries.
2. the fall of the Berlin Wall signaled the collapse of socialism in East Germany.
3. Vice President Guennadi Yanayev's failed coup attempt fueled the decline of Gorbachev and the rise of Boris Yeltsin.
4. As a consequence of this disaggregation, there was the economic and political opening of China.
5. in Yugoslavia, the end of socialism took place alongside a civil war.

(UFMG) The year 1989 represented the apex of the crisis of real socialism.

Considering the unfolding events of this year, it is correct state that:

1. in Germany, despite the fall of the Berlin Wall, reunification was postponed, due to the enormous economic and social imbalance between the eastern and western regions.
2. in China, a process of state reform began, which enabled the democratization of power structures through the adoption of multipartyism, free elections and openness to the press.
3. in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Romania, governments were overthrown and liberalizing political and economic reforms began to be adopted.
4. in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania, state reform movements were initiated towards the construction of a new, more humanist and pluralist socialism.

On the process of reunification of Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall, indicate the alternative you present incorrectly one of the reasons that caused this fact:

1. Difference in the pace of economic and social development of the two Germanys.
2. The existence of representative democracy in the western portion, which guaranteed greater freedom of political expression.
3. Mass flight of Germans westward through Hungary and Austria.
4. The acceptance of measures linked to Western capitalism by East German leader Erich Honecker.
5. The process of political and economic opening on the part of the USSR during the Gorbachev government.

German reunification became a process of adapting the different realities of the two countries so that Germany could become a single state, offering the same rights to all. Faced with this situation, point out the alternative that exposes correctly a historical fact about this process:

1. East German rulers opposed the adoption of the West Deutsche Mark, using their currency until the mid-1990s.
2. The Berlin Wall fell only in parts, and was used to control the movement of inhabitants between the western and eastern areas for five years after reunification.
3. One of the main difficulties of German reunification was to achieve an economic and social balance between the two parts of the country, mainly in offering the Easterners the same social benefits that the Westerners enjoyed.
4. The capital of Germany became the city of Munich, since Berlin could not be used due to the memories of the division existing in the city.

Letter D . In China there was no political opening after the disintegration of the socialist bloc. Even the economic opening was related to measures adopted since the late seventies.

Letter C . The policies adopted in these countries aimed at the consolidation of institutions of liberal representative democracy, as well as the adoption of economic measures concerning what was accomplished by capitalism in the sphere of influence of the United States.

Letter D . Honecker did not accept the adoption of measures linked to western capitalism, and the social dissatisfaction generated by this stance led him to be replaced in command of the Communist Party by Egon Krenz, in October 1989.

Letter C . Offering the same social rights that Westerners enjoyed to Easterners was an action that was difficult to resolve due to the high costs it represented for the State.
